Solve the equation ln(x+5)-ln(3)=ln(x-3) Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve for x: Apply the quotient rule for logarithms to the left side: Now, if then A = B, so... Multiply both sides by 3. Subtract x from both sides. Add 9 to both sides. Divide both sides by 2.
Check: Substitute x = 7 into the original equation. Using your calculator to find the natural logs: = 1.3863 and...
